Until now, users had only been able to deposit and withdraw funds in CNY.

Mobile Exchange

Also, the exchange’s representatives announced a relaunched version of its mobile site, Mobile Exchange 2.0. The mobile site offers three trading pairs: BTC/CNY, LTC/CNY and LTC/BTC. No word yet whether USD or HKD trading will become available on the mobile app.

The company noted in its statement:

“As Mobile Exchange 2.0 is [an] HTML5 mobile web app, it is not subject to third-party store censorship or regulation.”

This also means, company representatives point out, that users neither have to download an app nor future updates; Mobile Exchange 2.0 is simply accessible via a mobile browser. UX upgrades include swipe-to-edit and swipe-to-cancel features.

Users currently reading on a mobile device can go to https://m.btcchina.com to see the revamped mobile site, which is available in 10 languages.

“As a company, we’re growing; we’re going to continue to offer more services to allow people to buy and sell — transact Bitcoins — regardless of how the regulation plays out in the next few months and years,” Lee told CoinTelegraph in April.
